If we're talking vocal ability then my vote would probably have to go to Jeff Buckley.

[chrisxr2]

If i was a woman which i'm no then candi staton, she has an amazing voice, so underrated and underused.

[Rude Girl]

Aretha Franklin

[smiller]

From someone who has the vocal ability of Andrew Ridgley, I'd like to have the vocal ability of:

Soundgarden era Chris Cornell

Or, if I had a front bottom, my mate Jan (she has no idea how good she is)

[Nolar Dog]

Ani DeFranco or Conor Oberst

[Malam]

Layne Staley
Kurt Cobain
Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)
Frank Zappa
Prince
Tom Waits
Phil Anselmo
Maynard James Keenan

[obscene]

Paul Rogers/Freddie Mercury anything else is just wrong.

That reminds me - Alice in Chains should have a new album out later this year - does anyone know if the new guy (William Duvall?) is any good?

I always thought Layne would be ireplaceable...

I also read that Soundgarden reformed without Chris Cornell - and played earlier this month..

For me it would have to be the one, the only, Mike Patton.

From screaming to crooning, normally in the same song. Legend.

[Dick Dastardly]

Josh Todd and Chris Cornell are ones I thought of too. Possibly Bono as well.

[james_gt3rs]

I'd like to sound like James Hetfield, from the Black Album.

Like fish without chips, that is

[CommanderJameson]

Does it have to be singing?

Because if I had the diction and timbre of Jeremy Brett, I'd be most pleased.

[lennyhicks]

yeah Mike Patton gets my vote, went to see Fantomas perform Director's cut late last year it was awesome.

[bigbadbikercats]

Roger Daltrey. In fact I think I'd probably settle for just being able to sing "Behind Blue Eyes" like he does/did...

+1 for Freddie Mercury, such a distinct voice too.

For female Ella Fitzgerald.
